Starting Another Week

Brenda Langerud

It’s Monday!

It’s Monday. The office phone is ringing “Just calling to confirm a meeting/presentations already scheduled. Requests to schedule other presentations. Could 4-H assist with? How does my child join 4-H? Where do I find information on? I want to register for _______. How do I solve a problem with ________?”

It’s Monday. The emails alerts are regularly popping on the corner of my computer screen. I TRY to check email only a few times a day but ………. “I’m a graduate student, can you complete this survey? Our committee needs to schedule a conference call. News alerts about food safety, consumer fraud arrive. Kids Count has latest info on ND kids – please share with others their office pleas. National 4-H Supply is offering free shipping if items for this summer’s 4-H Achievement Days are ordered now”

It’s Monday. Office visitors are braving the cold. “Can I talk to ____?, Is she in? I missed your presentation. Do you have more copies? Your news column said___________”.

It’s Monday. The calendar on my computer pings to remind me that today’s first meeting is in 15 minutes. Two more meeting pings will be heard today. The calendar pings again – a report is due by this time tomorrow. Looking at the calendar reminds me it is time to file 4-H end of the year reports with the IRS.
